I am sorry, I do not understand your question. Please clarify "subatomic".
If you actually meant subcritical, it is when they make a test device that is deliberately designed to never become critical. Such a device cannot produce a nuclear yield, but they can still make measurements on it (e.g. neutron flux peak, x-ray flux) helpful in designing functional nuclear weapons.

In what way are nuclear weapons dangerous?
Nuclear weapons are dangerous because they can kill thousands in the initial blast, and leave an area dangerously radioactive for decades. Any who are exposed to this radiation may either die shortly after, or receive cancer.
What is the world's weakest nuclear weapon?
The Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were firecrackers compared to a standard warhead today. The Hiroshima bomb was about 20 kilotons - the equivalent of 20,000 tons of TNT. Subsequently thermo-nuclear devices were perfected, and yields of 50 MEGAtons are attained. Big enough to annihilate everything for a fifty to one hundred mile radius from the blast. So big in fact that its pointless to develop anything stronger, as existing weapons will have a blast radius extending beyond the atmosphere of the planet, and any additional power would be largely vented into space. In the 1950s US Army doctrine called for preparing for a "nuclear" battlefield. As part of that nuclear artillery pieces were developed, to fire out limited-yield tactical nuclear shells about ten miles, with a small enough blast that the gun crew could survive. Similar nuclear ammunition was developed by the Navy to be fired from the main battery of battleships. Today such limited-yield tactical nuclear weapons are mounted on short range missiles. There's also the neutron bomb, which emits mostly radiation to kill all living creatures without the messy blast and fire, leaving infrastructure intact for the benefit of ground forces moving in afterward.
When did Blast Corps happen?
Blast Corps happened in 1997.
When did Blast Chamber happen?
Blast Chamber happened in 1996.
What was the movie with the family lived in a bomb shelter?
Blast From The Past
Did the tsunami trigger the nuclear blast?
Yes the tsunami did trigger the nuclear blast because the water got into the nuclear reactor and buggered it up
Is nuclear energy a blast of energy?
no
Was there a nuclear blast in the world?
yes, thousands
What are the HARMFULNESS caused by nuclear blast?
The blast effects (which is all the question as worded asks about) would be the same as the blast effects of a weight of TNT identical to the nuclear bomb's yield (by definition). However a nuclear bomb has additional effects that the TNT doesn't, but as this question only asked about blast effects, I won't visit them.
What makes up the largest percent of evergy relearsed in a nuclear dotonation?
Blast, always blast.
What makes up the largest percent of energy released in a nuclear detonation?
Correct answer is blast effect
What plants could survive a nuclear blast?
none
What is the blast radius of the largest nuclear weapon?
35km
What insects can survive a nuclear blast?
A direct nuclear blast - nothing. However it is said that cockroaches would possibly survive radiation where other animals would be killed.
What puts off the most effect of a nuclear detonation?
blast
